[R] Sorting of columns of a matrix

[arun]

HI,
Not sure I understand the last part.
Try this:
dat1<-structure(c(0.585528817843856, 0.709466017509524, 0, -0.453497173462763,

Subject: [R] Sorting of columns of a matrix

Dear all,

Please suggest me how can I do it.


I have a matrix which look like following:

  x1 x2 x3  t1 .01 0.3 0  t2 0 0.1 0.01  t3 0 .01 .01  t4 0 0  t5 5 0 0  t6
0 0 0  t7 0 0 0  t8 0 0 0  t9 0.6 0 0  t10 0 0 0.66  t11 0 0.6 0.11  t12 0
0.4 0

I want to sort decreasing order in each column based on rows. and then to
display only those rows which has a value. The expected out put matrix will
look like

  x1 x2 x3  t9 0.6 t11 0.6 t10 0.66  t1 .01 t12 0.4 t11 0.11   t1 0.3 t2 .01
t2 0.1    t3 .01
many thanks

Nico
